After launching for PC and Mac in 2010 and leaping to numerous other platforms since then, the oddly-named platformer VVVVVV (count 'em, six V's) has made its way to Android. The game comes to us from Terry Cavanagh, the creator of Super Hexagon, and pits players in control of the poor Captain Viridian who finds himself lost in an alternate dimension. This difficult platformer tasks gamers with, as opposed to pounding on the jump button, altering the direction of gravity to navigate their way through numerous immensely dangerous levels.

VVVVVV goes for $2.99 and doesn't contain any in-app purchases. That's right, this is a game designed and sold in a way your childhood would be proud of. And if the cost is still too steep, there's a free minigame by the name of Super Gravitron that doesn't cost a dime. Links for both are available below.

Second to last paragraph, the sentence reads: "That's right, this is a game designed and sold in a way childhood you would be proud of.", but I believe you meant for it to say "That's right, this is a game designed and sold in a way your childhood would be proud of."

I'm not being that guy to be a jerk. I just love proofreading. Does that make me a nerd? Probably. Oh well.

That was actually intentional. Instead of saying "childhood Justin," I used "childhood you."

Still, I've changed it for the sake of clarity.

"That's right, this is a game designed and sold in a way your childhood would be proud of", but I believe you meant for it to say "That's right, this is a game designed and sold in a way in which your childhood would be proud"

I totally see what you were saying now. Maybe if the word "childhood" had been emphasized, my brain would've read it better. Either way, you weren't incorrect. You are a worthy adversary, Bertel.

Bertel's version makes sense to me and has a different meaning.

"...That's right, this is a game designed and sold in a way your childhood would be proud of..."

My childhood distinctly remembered free demos of nearly all games out for its Amiga 500. It's a shame the Dev's doesn't.

As a long time Amiga gamer, I certainly don't remember demos of "nearly all" commercial games, but a pretty select few.

The OP forgot that he used xcopy to copy every single game as they came out; they weren't demos.

DKT70

And of course you know what xcopy was, and what it was capable of. I mean, only a pirater of Amiga games would know that, wouldn't they now ?

alex0000000001

Yes.

DKT70

I certainly remember plenty of demos, especially exclusives, on many magazine's coverdisks. Guess you aren't quite the long time Amiga gamer you thought you were.

We need more steam indie games on mobile

One thing I remember from my childhood; shareware. (>_>)

So, it only took you 4 years to bother with Android, then Terry. Not gonna bother with this since the dev obviously can't be bothered to take the Android market seriously enough.

Laurence

Yeah, that doesn't sound entitled at all.

DKT70

You're right, it doesn't.

alex0000000001

At least he bothered with Android before Terry. If he'd bothered with Terry, and then - and only then - with Android...well, that would have really p***ed me off...

DKT70

Don't give up the day job.

It's not like he did iOS first, he pretty much simultaneously released it for iOS, Android, and Ouya.
